    Victorian Egyptology and the Making of a Colonial Field Science, 1850 – 1906 by Meira Gold Wolfson College Department of History and Philosophy of Science This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Date of Submission: December 2019 Declaration This thesis is the result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It is not substantially the same as any that I have submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for a degree or diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. I further state that no substantial part of my thesis has already been submitted, or, is being concurrently submitted for any such degree, diploma or other qualification at the University of Cambridge or any other University or similar institution except as declared in the Preface and specified in the text. It does not exceed the prescribed word limit for the History and Philosophy of Science Degree Committee. Abstract Victorian Egyptology and the Making of a Colonial Field Science, 1850-1906 Meira Gold This dissertation provides a new account of the origins of archaeological fieldwork in the Nile Delta. It considers how practitioners from diverse disciplinary backgrounds circulated knowledge about the built environment of pharaonic ruins: monuments, architecture, burials, and soil mounds that remained in situ. I trace the development of Egyptology from an activity that could be practiced long-distance through a network of informants to one that required first-hand field experience.

  • Niello Is a Black Mixture of Copper, Silver, and Lead Sulphides, Used As an Inlay on Engraved Or Etched Metal. It Can Be Used for Filling in Designs Cut from Metal
    Cutlery , Italy XVI th Century Coral , brass, silver , Iron , Gold 2010. 29. 1,2 G350 ( I call this the Treasury room) Key Points : Use of silverware relatively recent development in our western Society - People ate with bare hands - until the XVIth C – for instance Caterina de Medici went to France to marry Henry second son of King Francis I – in her dowry she brought her own fork and spoon enclosed in a box called a cadena - This was something new for the French but in Italy the fork arrived around XI th C – before that people were reliant on simple spoons and knifes that were both weapons and utensils. Guests would each bring their own utensils. Ancient Greeks used the fork but then the use fell out of custom. Byzantine Empire use developed during the first millennium but common use not until XVIIIth C in western world, North America XIXth….early use mainly as cooking utensil (Rome) Fun fact : Lorenzo de Medici’s estate included 18 forks… all for his private use. People would bring their own silverware if they had any to a banquet Use of fork in 1600’s regarded as unmanly Italian affectation and frowned upon by Roman Catholic Church – “ god in his wisdom has provided man with natural forks …his hands..” but mentioned in Bible… Before use of cutlery it was common to wipe own’s hands on any available material – hence no upholstery on chairs until development of silverware… This set of cutlery would have belonged to a high ranking individual such as nobleman, ambassador or Ruler.

  • Traditional Egyptian Chronology Egypt’S Ancient Timeline Has Long Been a Subject of Debate
    The Date of the Exodus Three thousand years ago, the biblical Old Testament Book of Kings cited the date of the Exodus as a reference point for the beginning of Solomon’s temple construction in Jerusalem: …in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which [is] the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD. (1 Kings 6:1 KJV) It is well established that Solomon’s reign began in 971-970 BC (Kitchen 2001), making 967-966 BC his fourth year. Adding the 480 years gives the date of 1447-6 BC on our calendar. Interestingly, the Greek Septuagint Bible gives 440 years in this verse. The difference likely being whether the counting starts from the beginning or end of the 40-year Exodus event. The manner of the date’s mention in the Bible implies that it was revered as a keystone of Hebrew history and had been carefully preserved. The way it is written in the Hebrew implies that it is intended to be a precise figure (see Cassuto (1961, 52)) [1]. The date also correlates with the length of Israel’s period of Judges (Young and Wood 2008), with Jephthah’s argument in Judges 11:26 [2], and with the Jewish Sabbatical and Jubilee calendar (Young 2003). However, despite its seeming bedrock character, the 1446 BC date has largely been ignored or maligned by the modern theorists.
